Walky Dogs

Walky Dogs Since 2017 solo dog walking, drop ins and sitting within Port Talbot. Dog behaviour trained. I started Walky Dogs in June of 2017. I love dogs!

I offer solo dog walks for all breeds of dogs and neutering status. I have a lot of experience in puppy training having volunteered for a year at South Wales Dog Training Academy. I have attended a Dog Law course which gave me more awareness of the law relating to dogs. I am always reading and researching to keep my dog behaviour knowledge up to date so I can do my job to my best ability. I have h

ad dogs my whole life. Lurchers and terriers whilst still at home and more recently, staffordshire bull terriers. I added to my crew last year with a rescue lurcher puppy. He is huge but a lovely dude. He has taught me so much more in this short space of time, and goes to show that dogs are a constant learning process. If you are looking for someone to walk your dog please drop me a message x

So excited and emotional to be making this announcement 🥹

Following lots of discussion and perseverance with our local licensing authority, due to our set up, experience and knowledge of the law, we have been giving the go ahead to board breeds listed under the DDA/BSL providing they are on the index of exempt dogs.

This will be subject to the following terms.

Dogs can only be in alternative care for a maximum of 30 days per year.

Dogs must be exempt with their certificate in our possession for the duration of their stay.

Dogs must be neutered, microchipped and insured.

Dogs must be on a leash and muzzled from your car to our home.

When things all go wrong 😑

Car passed mot Friday and within 2 hours the engine management light comes on and it’s a bank holiday weekend 🤦‍♀️ so nothing open.
So have tried to use it as little as possible over the weekend but this morning it started juddering and lost power. Back to garage who are no help. Odd as it was totally fine before Friday.
I’ve booked it into a different garage as I bought one of those diagnostic machines and it’s telling me something different to what that first garage has told me.
Totally stressed and gutted this morning but pulled myself together now and have help for rest of the week 🥰
Hopefully will all be back to normal next week anyway. See you tomorrow xx

About me ☺️
I’ve been a dog Walker for over 7 years! I’ve studied dog behaviour and put it into practice many times. I’ve also volunteered as puppy assistant at puppy class to learn about even more dog behaviour.

I have a big bull lurcher called Rocky. I got him from a rescue when he was 3 months old and he’s been my best teacher. He needed a lot of time and patience but he is the best.
I also have a horse and an 18 year old son.
I love walking and learning more about dogs 🐶 xx

And being a horse guardian too 💪🏻🐴🤪

When we struggle with the guilt, the worry, the compassion. It’s a sign of how much we care and much we give to our dogs.

It’s probably a sign you’re getting it right. Just remember to take care of yourself too.

ROAD CLOSED FOLLOWING DOG ATTACK IN SHEFFIELD

Handsworth crescent in Sheffield is currently partly closed following a dog attack in Sheffield.

Officers were called shortly before 9am today (Sunday 3 December) following reports that three dogs were running loose in the street around the Handsworth Road area in Sheffield.

As officers were searching the area, a further report was received that two dogs, believed to be of a bull breed had escaped from a property attacked a dog being walked along the street, causing injuries that required veterinary treatment.

The dog’s owner also suffered injuries during the attack and required hospital treatment.

Officers were sent to Handsworth Road in an attempt to find and capture the dogs. It is understood the dogs became increasingly aggressive towards officers, posing a significant risk to the public.

Fi****ms officers destroyed the dogs to prevent further any further injuries or risk.

The third dog was contained by officers and has been seized.

A 27-year-old man from Sheffield has been arrested on suspicion of having a dog dangerously out of control. He remains in police custody.

An investigation is ongoing into the circumstances surrounding the dog being dangerously out of control. Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 250 of 3 December 2023.

This is a lovely infographic (source below) which clearly shows some.of the more common behaviours leading up to a dog snapping or biting. It's so important to be aware of their body language, particularly on the lower rungs as intervention here can prevent their behaviour from needing to escalate resulting in someone potentially being bitten.

Our Story

Hi,

Walky Dogs was set up in June 2017. I wanted to provide a personal service to people in the local community that didn’t cost the earth, and came up with Walky Dogs - a one to one dog walking service.

The business has grown steadily in the last two years and I have learned so much more about dogs. I am currently studying a Foundation Diploma in Canine Behaviour and hope to move on to the advanced diploma after completion.

The last two years has given me a lot of experience in dog behaviour and communication, and I am pretty good at working out a dog’s next move (handy when you are walking in a popular dog walking place).
